Documentation Overview

contract-ops-mcp

One MCP server for the whole contract-ops CLI suite — wire it up once and an agent (Claude, Cursor, Codex, …) gets all nine local-first CLIs as tools: extract, draft, lint, compare, convert, review, and the template + signed-contract vaults. Signing stays human-gated.

Run this

jsonc

// e.g. Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contract-ops": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "contract-ops-mcp"] }
  }
}

The CLIs themselves must be installed (the server shells out to them). Fastest way to get all nine:

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://cli.drbaher.com/install.sh | sh     # local
# …or run the server + CLIs in one container: ghcr.io/drbaher/contract-ops

Call suite_status any time to see which CLIs are present and how to install any that aren't.

Prefer a ready-made agent? contract-ops-agent is a terminal agent that already wraps this server in an enclosure — the model's only tools are the contract-ops tools, no shell/filesystem/signing by construction. Bring your own model (Claude, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint): npm i -g contract-ops-agent.

Tools

Curated, ergonomic tools (typed inputs, JSON out) for the common operations, plus two escape hatches for the long tail:

Tool	What it does
`extract_contract`	Any contract (.md/.txt/.html/.docx/.pdf) → structured JSON (parties, dates, clauses, …)
`lint_contract`	Internal-consistency findings (placeholders, broken refs, defined-term/numbering/date defects)
`compare_versions`	Clause-aware drift between two versions (exit 0 clean · 2 substantive · 3 cosmetic · 4 moved)
`fill_template`	Fill a template's placeholders with typed params (deterministic)
`convert_to_pdf`	DOCX → PDF (needs a PDF backend, e.g. LibreOffice)
`review_nda`	Score an NDA against a house playbook, with evidence
`template_vault_find` / `template_vault_get`	Search / resolve versioned templates (read-only)
`contract_vault_query` / `contract_vault_due` / `contract_vault_risk`	Query the signed-contract register; project renewal/notice deadlines; renewal-exposure (read-only)
`verify_signature` / `verify_receipt` / `audit_show`	Verify a signed PDF / a receipt bundle / walk the audit log (read-only)
`catalog(cli)`	Return any CLI's full `--catalog json` — discover the long tail
`run(cli, args)`	Escape hatch: run any suite CLI with raw args (no shell)
`suite_status`	Which CLIs are installed (+ versions) and how to install the rest

The curated set and catalog/run are discovery-driven — they ride the suite's uniform --catalog json contract, so they stay in sync as the CLIs evolve.

Safety

Signing is human-gated. Only sign-cli's read/verify operations are exposed (verify_signature, verify_receipt, audit_show) — never request-create or sign. This is enforced: the run/catalog escape hatches reject any sign subcommand outside a read-only allowlist, so request-create/send/sign/approve can't be reached here. Those stay behind sign-cli's own MCP server with its per-signer approval tokens, so this server can't become an unguarded signing path.
Filesystem lockdown. File-path arguments to the curated tools are confined to CONTRACT_OPS_MCP_BASE_DIR (default: the working directory). Set it to widen the sandbox.
No shell. CLIs are invoked with execFile (no shell interpolation).
